To lill whom 'it may concern: l

Be it known that l, lnoMAs F. LAMB, citizeil of the United States, residing at Newark,

lparts in all of the 'figures of the drawing.

l inthe county of VLicking and State ol' Ohio, l have invented certain new and useful .lmprovements-in Bottle Receiving and Handling| Devices, of which the following is a y specification. M invention relatesto a bottle receiving and iandling device and has for its object the provision of a' device of this character constructed and arranged to receive' bottlesas the are discharged from a bottle blowing or mo din machine and to conduct said bottles over a' rnace er burner to im art the necessaryfinish' to said bottles and) to finally arrange a'plurality of seid bottles in alincment in such'incnner that a number of said bottles may be picked u simultaneously by a .workman when it is esired to transport them to an annealing furnace.

Further objects and advantages of the invention will be setiorth in the detailed description which now follows.

ln the accompanying drawings: Figure l is a plan View oi a bottle receiving and handling device constructed in accordance with the invention, Fig, 2 is a vertical section upon line mwst of Fig. 1, Fig.. Sis-a detail view of-a bottle discharging .mechanism hereinafter described, Fig. 4 is a detail perspective Aview of a bottle receiving funnel hereinafter described, Fig. 5 is a sectional .view through said funnel upon line i/Jy 0i' Fig. 4, Fig. 6 is a detail sectional View upon line ull-a of lFig. l, Fig. 7 is a detail view of a )ortion of the gearing illustrated in Fig. l, and, Fig. S is a detail View of u. furnace or burner hereinafter described. I

Like numerals designate corresponding Referring toi the drawing, the numeral 5 designates a base. A holt f3 passes through a plate 7 and is threaded into a standard 8 ot' the base The pluto 7 is provided with a l plurality of radial arms J and these redini arms carry triangular hearing blocks l0 Figs. l and 2). livoted u )on studs li which take into said triangular liearing blocks are segments 12". lihu'h ol these segments has a g plurality ol pockets 1B formed therein, said pockets being adapted to receive and support )otlles in aninverted position. v i The bese 5 is provided with a pair of stands ards. 'i4 (see Figs. l, 2 sindfl') und a bar l5 is s lirlablyY disposed within these standards; A

shaft 24 is mounted in `mounted ,in bearings 50.

connecting rod 16 is pivoted to thishar as at 17 and the outer end ot' this connecting rod engages a crank 1S of a shuit li), said shaft being mounted in hearing blocks 2t). A ,pulley 21 is mounted4 upon one end of this shaft and a bevel gear wheel is mounted upon the opposite end of said shalt. The geur wheel 22 meshes with a bevel gear wheel 23 which is tast upon a shalt 24. 'lhis hearing blocks and carries a pinion 26. The pinion 26 meshes with a gear wheel 27 which is fast upon a shaft 28 and thc shaft 28 is rotatably mounted in bearings blocks 29. Mounted upon one end of the shaft 28 is a crank 30 which is pivoted at 3i to a connecting rod 32. TluY .ipposite` end ot the connecting rod 32 is pivotcd at 33 to *a second crank 3d. The crank 34. is mounted upon a'shaft 35 and this shaft is in turn mounted in bearings 36.

it is to be understood that the segments 12ers pivoted upon the studs 1l between the triangular hearing blocks h10. These segments are supporte-r when in an upright position by inwardly extending arms. 37,

said arms rcstingupon lugs 3S ci the plate4 7, it being understood that the segments and the plato rotate bodily together', will he hereinafter set forth. 'lrhc arms 37 carry anti-friction rollers 39 upon their inner ends,

these `rollers being adapted to ride over a iixed cam fd) which is supported bynrms il from the bolt i3. This cam causes the segments to tilt upon their studs to discharge the bottles upon a swinging frame, as will be hereinafter' set forth. A crank 42 is integrally formed with the shaft 35 and engages a substantially U- shaped frame 43. This U-shapcd frame is slotted as at 44 for the receiptionot' pins 45 which are carried by upstnfiaiing arms 46 of a frame 4T. The side members of the frame are connected by a thin metallic sheet such as tim-indireted at 48, these side members being pivotcd upon a shaft 4Q which is Likewise pivoted upon the shaft 4) is a second frame 51 comprising a pair of side members which sup,- port a swinging shelf ylhe side members ot the frame 47 are connected by a coiled s )ring 53 which lies behind the rear edge of the shelf 52. When this shelf 52 is thrown to vthe-dotted line position in Fig. 3, it
